Title: Brave Comes Under Fire for Binance Affiliate Link Autofill
Post by: Oxumare on June 07, 2020, 03:55:05 PM
Brave appears to have removed a controversial feature that was auto-filling the company’s affiliate link when a user attempted to access Binance.

Crypto-powered privacy-focused web browser Brave has come under fire for automatically filling an affiliate link into its address bar when a user attempts to access the website for leading crypto exchange Binance and its United States-based subsidiary Binance.US.

Brave’s co-founder and chief executive, Brendan Eich, has acknowledged the “mistake,” pledging that the error will soon be corrected to remove the automatic completion of its affiliate link after the situation gained traction on crypto Twitter.

“Brave default autocompletes verbatim Binance.us in the address bar to add an affiliate code. We are a Binance affiliate, we refer users via the opt-in trading widget on the new tab page, but autocomplete should not add any code,” tweeted Eich.

This is about the development of the browser application from Brave and it has to be like this so that neither party is disadvantaged.
When Brave is infiltrated by a virus or malware, the #DevelopmentTeam  should focus on destroying the virus and it must be destroyed so as not to have a bad effect on the Basic Attention Token token.
Because Brave and Basic Attention Token work together and also definitely cooperate with Binance in terms of browsers.
